Two good boys millions loved without ever meeting ❤️🐶
Millions of people never got to pet Simon or Tucker, yet somehow both felt like dogs we knew. That’s the strange, beautiful thing about the lives they shared online.
Simon () was more than Isabel Klee’s beloved companion. The 7-year-old rescue became known for patiently welcoming frightened foster dogs into his home, quietly helping them learn that people, homes and even other dogs could be safe. After a cancer diagnosis, Simon said goodbye in July surrounded by the person who had given him seven extraordinary years.
Tucker Budzyn () was pure personality in Golden Retriever form. His expressive reactions, chaotic humor and unmistakable bond with Courtney turned him into one of the internet’s most recognizable dogs, reaching millions around the world. Tucker passed at 8 following sudden complications from lymphoma.
They never knew how many screens they appeared on or how many bad days they made a little better.
They were simply being dogs. Maybe that’s exactly why so many people loved them. Rest easy, Simon and Tucker 🌈🐾
